In the Mood for a Blood Donation? Pilot Study about Momentary Mood, Satisfaction, and Return Behavior in Deferred First-Time Donors
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that mood and satisfaction with the donation process are directly affected by deferral but not clearly responsible for low return rates. It seems promising to embed these variables in established health behavior models in further studies to increase the return rates of deferred FTD.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

Coagulation under Mild Hypothermia Assessed by Thromboelastometry
Conclusion: This demonstrates that even under mild hypothermia coagulation is significantly altered in vitro. Perioperative temperature monitoring and management are greatly important and can help to prevent mild hypothermia and its adverse effects. Further investigation and in vivo testing of coagulation under mild hypothermia is needed.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

A Para-Bombay Blood Group Case Associated with a Novel < b > < i > FUT1 < /i > < /b > Mutation c.361G & #x3e;A
Conclusions: A novelFUT1 allele (FUT1*c.361G#x3e;A) was identi fied in a Chinese individual with para-Bombay B phenotype. TheFUT1c.361G#x3e;A mutation may significantly downregulate the expression of H antigens on RBCs by damaging the enzyme conformation.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

Severe Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction Treated with Ruxolitinib and Plasma Exchange
Conclusion: Ruxolitinib may be life-saving in patients with ABO-incompatible transfusion reaction which follows a severe and catastrophic course.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

Comparison of Total Immunoglobulin G in Ante- and Postmortem Blood Samples from Tissue Donors
Conclusion: Total IgG values in antemortem samples were below the lower limit of 6 g/L in 20% of the cases. Total IgG was significantly lower in the postmortem samples compared to the antemortem samples, while 57% were still above the lower limit. No correlation with the postmortem time could be found. This lowered IgG levels should be payed attention to when using postmortem blood for infectious serology testing. Additional NAT testing should be considered.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

Using the World Apheresis Association Registry Helps to Improve the Treatment Quality of Therapeutic Apheresis
Conclusion: Collection of data from TA procedures within a multinational and multicenter concept facilitates the improvement of treatment by enabling the analysis of and feedback on indications, procedures, effects, and side effects.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

Ethical Issues and Management of Fetal Hemolytic Anemia Caused by Anti-Rh17 in a Multipara with Rare –D– Phenotype
Conclusion: Our case shows that the risk for hemolytic complications increases with the number of pregnancies of sensitized women. Only people who also lack CcEe antigens are compatible as donors. The role of such rare donors as lifesavers, their freedom, and voluntariness conflict with the urgent need for compatible blood.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

Population-Based Analysis of the Impact of Demographics on the Current and Future Blood Supply in the Saarland
Conclusion: Our results on RBC demand in SL are comparable but not identical to those projected for the region of MV in eastern Germany. Due to the ongoing demographic changes in Germany as a whole, regular regional monitoring of RBC demand and the age structure of blood recipients and donors should be implemented to allow for better strategic planning in blood transfusion services and hospitals.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

Algorithms for the Testing of Tissue Donors for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B Virus, and Hepatitis C Virus
Conclusion: In HBV and HCV testing, a high-sensitivity virus genome test should play a central role in diagnostics, especially in the case of equivocal serology, and it should be the basis for the decision to release the tissue. The proposed test algorithms and decisions are also based on current European recommendations and standards for safety and quality assurance in tissue and cell banking.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)

Validation of Microbiological Testing of Tissue Preparations with Different Incubation Temperatures
Conclusion: The requirements according to the Ph. Eur. for a successful method suitability test could be fulfilled for the semiautomated blood culture bottle system with the BACTECTM FX unit for the media and microorganisms used. In the presented validation study 35 °C was shown to be the incubation temperature with the fastest growth, of the majority of the test strains used, and complete detection within 14 days.Transfus Med Hemother (Source: Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy)
